This is the second time that I go to the Howlin Wolf and both times we had to wait longer than 30 minutes to be waited on. My most recent experience we waited over thirty minutes to be Waited on and when we were finally asked if we wanted service my group and I were already dissatisfied with the service. If you’re patient enough, the drinks are worth it otherwise, don’t bother going.

This place is amazing. Always a blast. Love the retro art deco style of the place. Really makes you feel like you're in a 1920s jazz

Used to love coming here, but lately the service has been awful.Last visited this past Monday night, not busy at all, bar wasn't even full. It was like the barback was intentionally trying to ignore us any time she passed. After waiting a good ten minutes we were finally able to get her attention when she delivered water to the guests next to us. "Oh, has no one helped you yet?" ??Everyone at the bar had to ask for service as no one was being checked on or even greeted upon sitting down. Very weird atmosphere and the barbacks definitely need some additional training. Head over to literally any other upscale bar in town for much better service and tastier drinks.
This is definitely the spot. Great atmosphere and ambiance. Friendly service, great bartenders--nay, mixologists! I've been here twice so far, and both times surprised it's not more busy. In fact, my fear with a place like this is that it won't catch on enough to be successful long term. That would be a real shame. Then again, I've gone during off-times, so maybe the crowd was just thin then. Check this place out!

We stopped by for a couple drinks in the late afternoon, and loved the ambience of the place, everything from the artwork and decor with animals, music events, icons, and instruments on display, to the helmets on the wall under dim purplish lighting, and even a couple shuffleboard tables near the bar.We enjoyed some live music around 5pm, Sunday Jam led by Bobby Griffin. The sound system was a bit loud and not the best, but the musicians were good, and performed hits like Fly Me to the Moon. For drinks, we had the buffalo trace old fashioned, fruit salad (a tasty strawberry and lemon flavored cocktail), and pear-adice lemon drop, all of which were pretty good. The service was great, many staff members and bartenders available to ensure minimal wait times, and they were friendly as well, checking on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. There's a small parking lot outside shared with neighboring businesses, though it was a bit full when we visited, so I'm not sure how busy it gets here since I'm not from the area.

I love the atmosphere and the bartender! He was so nice! I had a Blood orange Cosmopolitan and as my first drink it was stronger than I expected but I warmed up to the flavor
